Life Novel: Part 1 and 2

15

When we walked into the building, I could tell that I do not belong but I hope that feeling will go away, Zacky escorted to a table with 3 unfamiliar faces, I looked at them shyly, Zacky said to me, "You can sit between me and Brian, alright, Cynthia?" I nodded, knowing that he's going to calm my nerves down, I sat down, hoping that I will do a great impression with these 3.

I got another message from Jimmy saying, "Matt, he's a little hard to soften, just give him time. He'll break in time, Johnny, ah, don't worry about him, he's just like Zacky. Brooks, hmm, I'm not so sure." Well, that's very helpful, not...

I softly sighed, then another message from him saying, "You'll fit in, trust me, if one of them greets you, you are already a part of the Sevenfold family. There's no escape from us!" I giggled at the last part of the message, one of the 3 sees this, I'm guessing it's Johnny, he asks, "Who are you talking to?" "A friend of mine," I said, "I was hoping to be alone while I enjoy some company because I'm the new neighbor." "Ah, that's right, you are the new neighbor," said the guy, "I'm Johnny, by the way, lovely to meet a lady every once in a while." I smiled, "You guys don't get a lot of friends that are girls?" "We hardly get free time with what we do," he said.

"I wish I had your energy of free time," I said, "Mine is hella hard, like I need to keep my guard otherwise I get attacked!" "Wow, some job you have," he said. I nodded, "But, I'm retired from it, I do help out every once in a while when I am needed." "What is it that you do?" he asked. I exhaled, "It's classified, I don't know if you are trustworthy enough with the kind of stuff I deal with." "I see, I understand, just as long as you enjoy it and it's paying you greatly then that's all that matters," he said, "Do you drink?" "Soda, milkshakes, tea, and water only for this girl," I said, pointing at myself, "I like to live safely." "Ah, I see," he said.

I was lost in thought while these guys were talking, I received another message from Rev asking, "Do you want to talk about it? I'm here if you need someone to talk to." Which is what I really need, but I don't want be seen as rude or anything for that matter, then a waitress came to me and tapped me on my shoulder, I looked, she said, "Someone is waiting for you outside." So, I went to see James, he was leaning up against a wall, "Do you want to talk about it now?" "I guess, it was really starting to build up my anxiety," I said, trying to shake it off, "I'm not used to this much pressure." "Wow, you are really knew to this," said James.

"Well it doesn't help when another person asks me on what my job is, even though I clearly said that it was classified," I said to him, "It's very hard to get through peoples brick skulls and don't listen on what I tell them." "Sounds like you've been dealing a lot of betrayal," he said, "Try to relax." "I've been trying to relax," I said, walking off, "But here's the thing about that, I can't even do that where I'm from, I'm constantly being bothered!!" "Whoa, easy, let's not cause a scene," he said. I sharply exhaled, "Sorry." "Hey, there's no need to apologize on what is coming out of your mouth," he said, "All that matters to me right now, I'm hoping that you know that you do know on what you are doing without being bothered."

After a few moments, here comes Zacky running because apparently he told was that I was being followed by a ghost and I'm talking to it. What's worse, I was making everybody steer clear of what I was saying, Zacky asked me, "Are you alright?" "Leave me alone," I snapped, "I want to go back home now." "Alright, let me inform the guys that I would be right back," he said. I sighed, "Don't bother, I'll walk myself home."

I didn't even hear him say anything back, I just did it anyway, as I was walking home, I'm in my Soul form because I put my body in the backseat of Zacky's car, I was not seen by anyone other than the ones in the afterlife, as I was walking, I was hearing Zacky's car coming this way, apparently I was in the middle of the road when he saw me out of my body. Wait, he can see me? Oh shit, that means he knows on who I was talking to.
